"Fifty thousand coins... These maritime merchants are so rich!" Zhao Ying and Zhao Tisi are better at math and are more sensitive to money. He immediately came to a conclusion and then sighed.

"This is another set. Last time I organized the Volunteer Army to go to the front line, but Zheng Qingzhi made a big advantage. This time I donated money to the court to buy muskets! If it doesn't work, sir, we must not agree to them. If this matter is done, wouldn't we miss another good opportunity?" Zhao Yong was still the one who spoke, but this time he was right. When he organized the Volunteer Army, he was also the main advocate around Wen Hao. He knew exactly what effect this thing would have.

The new army of the court was defeated and the Northern Expedition was a great opportunity to attack the pro-war faction. No matter what the reason was, you were defeated, you had to take responsibility! They have been waiting for this opportunity in the past two years. Whoever does more things will make more mistakes. Those who don’t do things are all on the side. As long as something happens, they will immediately jump out and blame. This is a common method in political struggle. If you grasp the right measure and you can attract more alliances, even if the pro-war faction falls this time, you will have to lose your skin even if you don’t die.

As for what to do when the Northern Expedition, what to do if you like, who can care about it? First suppress the political enemies, let yourself take power, and firmly control your rights in your own hands. Then the country will naturally win under its leadership. People like them only have this logic.

"That's the case, but how can Dexin refuse? Zigui won't forget the newspaper, right? I'm afraid that the newspapers that the maritime merchants want to donate money to the court to buy muskets have started printing. Maybe they have finished printing, maybe we will see them in the afternoon!" Xu Yan was very annoyed by Zhao Yong. This guy was simply a dog of Wen Hao. He bit whoever he asked him to bite, without any character, and he was even more ignorant and had no cleverness.

"I think the change is reasonable. Since the maritime businessmen and political parties dare to come and inform them, they are definitely sure to let the court know. I think we can't suppress this matter, so it's better to report it to the court. As for how the court responds, it's not our business. Zigui just said that there was a shadow of Jinhe Kingdom behind the newspaper incident, but I don't know why they did this. Now I really want to understand it."

"First use newspapers to create momentum, and make this matter known to everyone. When no one can suppress it, the maritime merchants donate money to the court to support the continued northern expedition. This is the second step, brilliant! I guess there is a third step later, and I will probably guess what it is. In a few days, the newspaper will publish the real cause of the new army's failure, and then Chen Xiang (Chen Zhuo, the assistant to the political affairs) will become the target of public criticism, and then it will be involved in Shi Songzhi, the Siming people (Shi Miyuan's hometown, when he was in power, there was a saying that the court was Siming people) is completely finished!" Then he spoke Zhao Ying, who said more carefully than Xu Yan, and even analyzed the causes and consequences.

"If it is true as Wen Zhong said, Dexin's decision was right at the beginning. If we also participated in this matter, the consequences... I would be puzzled. How could the Emperor of Jinhe Kingdom know about such a confidential matter? Even Zheng Xiang can only guess. There is no evidence, right?" Wu Xiuyan, who had not spoken, finally spoke. He expressed partial agreement with Zhao Ying's analysis, but there were still some questions that had not been solved.

"It's hard to say. People from Jinhe Kingdom know a lot of things. For example, the new warship of our navy has been clear about all the data of the Jinhe Kingdom. One of their army officers can speak well, and I don't know much more than him. Even if Zheng Xiang didn't say it, the staff sent by Jinhe Kingdom could tell who deliberately made the new army suddenly die, otherwise they would not have disobeyed and returned to Xuzhou. I followed the instructions of the navy's grain transport ships back from Xiangyang.

The commander said that the staff of Jinhe Kingdom had long known what the result of this new army would be. They also sent two people to follow the navy's ship back to Mingzhou. When they arrived at the dock, one of them boarded their own clutches and went out to sea. I guess Emperor Hong knew better than us." The answer to Wu Xiuyan was his younger brother Wu Xiuxing. When talking about this, he spoke with extreme dissatisfaction. Who would like to fight with such an army? Who dared to let them stand behind him?

"If you practice, don't talk too much about the important affairs of the court! The maritime merchants donate money will be reported by the change. You are the magistrate of Guangzhou, and this matter should be handled by you. Although we missed the first move in this game, it was not a loss. In the newspaper matter, we will wait and see if we don't bear the infamy. I will go back to Lin'an, report the situation here to the officials, and then put it in the court to see who dares to propose to kill so many people!"

After listening to the analysis of several staff members, Wen Hao also understood the ideas in his mind. In the newspaper matter, he could not express his opinion first, otherwise he would lose the basic trust of the maritime merchants. Without their help, he would not be able to do the position of Nanyang Xuanfu Envoy for a long time. Although doing so may cause the officials to question their abilities, the root cause is not himself. Whoever provokes this matter will be found. Without the secret support of the officials, Chen Zhuo, the military supervisor, was not so bold to interfere in Meng Gong's military strategy.

Whether Chen Zhuo is in trouble or Meng Gong is in trouble, it will not have any impact on his own power anyway. Maybe after this incident, the government will rely more on him. Because there are not many forces in the court that can compete with the Zheng Qing faction, and his Nanyang Xuanfu Envoy seems even more precious. This is called "Sai's loss of power"!

"It's so good, Dexin. If nothing happens, I will return to Quanzhou tomorrow. Recently, there have been many Dashi merchants. It is said that they came here to invest in and set up factories with the merchant ship of the Strait Company. I wondered, these people finally took over the route to Dashi, so why did they invite Dashi back? Do you have to rely on Dashi's money to set up a few factory workshops? They can do more than 100,000 yuan at any time!" Zhao Ying is the busiest in official business. It seems that he likes to do this job quite well. When he heard that there is nothing to do, he immediately wanted to go back.

"Wait, Chairman Sun from the Straits Company also gave me an invitation. You may be interested in going to see this scene with me!" Wen Hao reached out and stopped Zhao Ying who was getting up and going out, then took out a golden card from his sleeve and handed it over.

"What a good guy, he is worthy of being the chairman of the Straits Company. He can only make dozens of strings of money at one's own move!" Zhao Ying is also a person who often rolls among businessmen. He can see at a glance that this is an invitation made of pure gold foil. He put it in his hand and weighed it before opening it after confirming its value.

"Ah! Principal Hong is going to teach!" Before Zhao Ying could see clearly what was written in lacquer on the invitation, the martial arts cultivation who came over came exclaimed, and even changed his name to Hong Tao, and changed from emperor to principal.

"It's ridiculous, what kind of principal he is! A person who can't even speak the Nine Classics, Five Classics, and Three Histories, is a person who seeks fame and reputation!" Zhao Yong also came over at this time and saw clearly what the invitation was written. After hearing the title of Emperor Hong by Wu Xiuxing, his face became irritated.

He had never attended a sailing school and hated the act of students who came out of the country to be hired by maritime merchants as their ancestors for their ancestral offerings. According to his logic, only those who read classics and history like him were qualified to enjoy such treatment. The reason why he did not receive such courtesy was entirely because Emperor Hong bewitched the Song people, so he hated them very much!

"No, no, no... He is a teacher for life. Although he is a foreign emperor, I have heard his lessons and have learned a lot of knowledge from him. As for whether he does not understand classics and history, he himself once said that he did not learn these things when he was young. But it cannot be denied that he had very high attainments in mathematics and painting. In addition, he also created unique geography, nature, physics, shipbuilding, and navigation techniques. Some people think that these knowledge should be called masters, and the Jinhe Kingdom is a scientist. The reason why the Great Song Dynasty was not as good as the Jinhe Kingdom was because we did not pay attention to these knowledge, and these knowledge were called natural science by the Jinhe Kingdom! Does Zigui think that it can be defeated by the Jinhe Kingdom by the Book of Changes, Shangshu, Songs, and Zhou Lilai!"

Martial arts practice is a person who doesn’t speak very much, which is very similar to Qi Zu, Wen Xiaoqi, and Bush. If you give them a drawing, they can watch it for several days without eating or sleeping, but if you want to chat with people like them, it is difficult to reach the top, and they will say nothing after three sentences. However, this time Martial arts practice broke out. For a person who is engaged in technology, the most unworthy thing is those who do not take technology seriously and speak lies with their eyes open. Zhao Yong’s remarks are not insulting Hong Tao, but insulting all those who respect science, including himself, and must be anxious.

"Yes, the Cultivation is right. Even if the Song Dynasty is going to war with the Jinhe Kingdom now, Cultivation and I will admit that Emperor Hong is our teacher and principal. The reason why my brothers can be the official position of the court is responsible for supervising the construction of the new naval ship and not humiliating the family is entirely due to his gift. If my brothers had not been to study at the Navigation School for a few years, would the court summon us to supervise the construction of the new naval ship? Zigui has read the classics and history, and my brother is a disciple of famous people, but he dare not forget his teacher's kindness! Say goodbye, my brother takes a step first. Since he is going to listen to the teacher's class, how dare he go empty-handed, Shu Xiuyan still needs to prepare!" Seeing that his younger brother turned against him and Zhao Yong, Wu Xiuyan, the brother, was not vague. He spoke with a gun and a stick, and then clasped his fists at the other people and floated away with his younger brother, even without giving Wen Hao's face.
